Suggest a name - 1,000 STEEM Contest

in steemq •  8 years ago  (edited)

SteemQ needs a new name. I have been brainstorming for better name ideas with friends, and while we have some good ideas, we haven't conjured up a great name yet. I am thus turning to crowd wisdom for help.


What is SteemQ about?

The goal of SteemQ is to build a video platform on STEEM. We believe there is a better way of connecting content creators with their audiences, as well as monetizing content in a way that is not tied to the traditional advertising model.

Original Announcement

Contest

The goal of this contest is to come up with a new, better name for our project.
The name can be a made up word or something witty and clever. It can be somehow loosely related to what we are about, or not at all.

Guidelines:

  • should be easy to pronounce/remember
  • should be available to register as .io or .tv
  • ideally, .com shouldn't be taken by an established company
  • can not contain the word STEEM
  • can not be infringing on an existing trademark

The winner of the contest is whomever suggests a name that we end up using for the project. You can suggest as many names as you like.

Good luck and happy brainstorming.


TLDR: Think of a good name for rebranding SteemQ, and submit it in the comments for a chance to win 1,000 STEEM.

Well...

blhovi

It's a madeup word that's super clever lol. You know why? Well, I just published a new blhovi. You can check it out and my other blhovis too. 😎

blhovi logo

Vubu

Short, simple, two syllables. Self-rhyming like many successful web/internet apps (Snapchat, YouTube). Can be backronymed into something like "Video ____ By Us."

There's an existing Polish online store called vubu.pl, that's all I found.

Vubu is a winner IMO ;) Short easy to grap difficult to forget ;) Bingo

Muuvy

Hey, @summon please share in what cryptocurrencies you invested?

P.S it's very interesting to know where smart people invest.

Quib

Streemit.tv is currently available.
The .com is at "make an offer"
Good fortune to you & your great idea.

Good name, I also like Ustream.tv

How about:

veed.io

Viva
Vivo
Vsteem
4KHD
4KHQ
Fave
GoVid
TrueHQ
TrueHD
Shutter
Zoomin
Sframe

I like...

Zoomin

Treeviddy.io. A play off the "Tree-Fiddy" meme from South Park:

You could make "about tree-fiddy" posting videos on TreeViddy.

lol

lol

3video :)

divid / Divid / edit: diVid / divvid

Two syllables, self rhyming and a palindrome. Conceptually ties to video and also hints at the nature of the platform, like dividends.

Not much in the way of trademarks for it out there as far as I can tell, and divid.com is a blank page.

VStreem ?
YouStreem ?
Steemeo ?
WeStreem ?

I like steemeo!

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

It's a longshot but vid.io is a nice name and domain. It redirects to vidiq.com. Maybe they'd sell it?

uStreem
bitStreem
StreemHub
Streemit
eStreem
vidStreem
Definitely think Streem should be part of the name

eStreem

Dyme

Simple, one syllable, homonym of dime, hinting at the potential to earn on the platform.

Dayum! :P

It could work!

what tim said :D

Good one, I like it. Unfortunately, its taken.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

I checked the .com and saw it was parked. I figured it was available, but I guess these guys are too cool for a .com: http://dyme.co/

Fuck those guys anyway. Take their name when they burn out the rest of their VC money. Should be soon:

©2015 Dyme Financial Technologies, Inc.

Quvo

Another unique, short, and simple one. Google tells me that Quvo is a slangy contraction in Spanish meaning "What's up"

As for anyone else using the name there's a taqueria/brewery in Florida and that's about it.

Going with some friendly sounding names:
Mylo
Catina
Kele
Myta
Perla
Glisa
fola
glita

all great for those new AI assistants :D

Fraimed


frame-aimed. Dot.com is free too

everlasting.io

^Neither .com nor .io appear to be owned by an established company. Rationale: IIRC any video uploaded will essentially be out there on the internet permanently, correct? It's fully decentralized (links, hash etc. in Steem blockchain, video in a decentralized medium)?

If that's the case maybe the name should focus on the permanency of it, given that is the main feature vs. centralized competitor platforms.

The alternative is to focus on the censorship resistance. Financial rewards are good but it doesn't differentiate from YouTube, at least the rewards aren't high enough yet.

Some others along the same thought lines:

Indestructible Video
Indestructible.io
VideoMason
VidMason

I seem to recall there was someone in NAZI Germany who kept running a radio station despite the risk of being found and persecuted. I could be misremembering, or maybe there is a similar story in another authoritarian regime. If there was such a person/story, perhaps it could be named after them.

Immortalise
Immortal Video
Undying
Undying Video

liked the first one all the latter seem strange and unwelcoming :D everlasting sounds simple and precise others are slapped together :D

  1. Q
  2. Vlog
  3. Qmedia
  4. Qtube

I really like Seeit.com it's short and easy to remember. A really cool logo could be made from this. Here's a quick drawing I made to give you an idea.

Obviously it could be designed much better by someone from 99designs.com

Here are my top 5:

  1. Seeit
  2. Steevio
  3. Cryptovidz
  4. ChainTube
  5. Blockchainvidz

Powervids

picturebox.tv

URvid?

Actually SteemQ is already a great name.

but has steem in it

Yes, but I still liked it... nothing to be ashamed of calling it steem.

suppose so, have you heard of the news surrounding the license :) steeMIT

No I have been away intermitanty with travel, is there a link?

check the @steemitblog it's still the latest news :)

BlockStreem.tv - A decentralised video platform on the Steem blockchain.

blockstreem.tv, blockstreem.io and blockstreem.com are all available.

liberstreem.tv and the domains are currently available

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Maybe - challenge.com, tomove.io

Would this replace YouTube, as in have all those capabilities? Commenting to mark this article for later, in case I think of a good name.

How about Streem?

How about Vapor? Go viral and turn your Vapor into Steem. It's easy to pronounce, 2 syllables (2 or less seems best IMO), and plays well into the "steam" metaphor. Also it starts with a "V", so a corollary to Videos is easy to make.

Only downside is you'd need to get creative with the domain name. You could probably buy vapor.tv but vapor.io is in use by a "Cloud" company.

  • qmeets (io, tv and com available, steemq backwards)
  • meetsq (io, tv and com available, steem backwards with q still at end.)
  • veemq (io, tv and com available, st replaced with v for video)

I came up with the following names. One of which MAY be the one for you :
cryptotube
cryptoshare( .com is available for sale)
cryptovid
tubevid(for sale)
streemvid
streemconnect

How about:

Steenema or Stinema

Cross between Steem and cinema😉

Good luck with that new name @furion.

like a Steem Enema ! cool.

Stinema it is then ;) English isn't my first language, so I didn't think about this when I posted.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

I've got it "Streemit" it even has a little jingle ring to it and supports all the letter of the Parent. :) So what do you think?

OK so I was so sure of this "Streemit" name that I went ahead and secured the streemit.tv domain. The .com was taken and I can not register the .io

If you don't want the streemit.tv domain I will sell it or just let it lapse...

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

@ned Just a note to let you all know that I am not trying to get rich by charging a fortune for use of the streemit.tv domain I secured for your video project and name contest. If you decide that you want to use it, then it is yours for the asking. No charge...
I have it registered on Bluehost if that helps you to decide.

I vote for VIDEOPWNAGE

YouSteem
SteemyTV
SteemBox
SteemTube

so you, ytv, box and tube nice selection :)

ytv will get hate from google but looks nice :D

Thanks! I hope one of my options gets chosen! Would be cool to know I helped Steemit grow and coined the name soon to be used by millions! 😎

STEEMTV (SMTV) ...

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Along the same lines as Dyme,

Quyd or Qyd

Again a one syllable word. And a homonym of quid, hinting at value (at least to Brits :P). Rhymes with "vid." The letters in Qyd could be easily adapted into a stylized logo and smartphone app icon.

Googling, there is an old band from Germany named Quyd but I doubt there would be any trademark issues.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

If this name isn't selected please create a British football betting site.

sQuyd or sQyd you could even have a squid mascot.

Adding "tube" to the name can remind peoples that a site is video sharing site. Although most "tube" sites targets mature audience which means that a brand/domain that has a "tube" on its name can leave an impression that it's a porn site, this can certainly help attract a lot of attention not only from mature audiences but also the general audiences because youtube, non porn site, is still the biggest "tube" site.

For my brand name proposal, i have 2 for now:

  1. TubeBlock - video sharing site built with blockchain technology
  2. Tubeq - to carry the "Q" branding

svidteem

Bluvue

Clamour

verb

(of a group of people) shout loudly and insistently.
"the surging crowds clamoured for attention"
synonyms: yell, shout loudly, bay, scream, shriek, roar
"the surging crowds clamoured for attention"

Similar rationale to my other suggestions, it's the closest word I can think of to 'refuse to be silenced'.

what about SteemTube?
ViSteem?
Veem?
Vsteemit?

Hmm how about

SkyQ
LY'Q
Q BEcK
QSURGE
THE Q CURRENT

You may decide to not include Steem in the brand/service name, on the other hand including Steem makes it more or less clear it is something on Steem coin, for those who know Crypto a little....but I suppose most of the YouTubers won't.

What about:

  • SteemVid
  • SteemVideo
  • SteemTube
    These make clear what is about, but limits itself to Steemit/Steem only.

Other suggestions (independent of Steem so it can work with other crypto social media sites as well):

  • VideoTube
  • CryptTube
  • CryptoTube

Of course, the .com domain must be available! didn't check for the suggestions before

Blocktube

I think that "steemit" is a pretty decent place to start. so good work so far on that. I don't really think these are particularly good ideas. I just like to stir the pot a bit!

Steam as a root has a lot of great meanings and connotations for community and general quality of life. Steam rises above, moves around, and travels well, and hopefully the price of Steem will do some rising as well. Steaming is a healthy food prep technique. Steam baths are revitalizing and communal. Steam as a source of power was quite revolutionary. Steam as a way to clean sensitive garments. The one connotation i'd avoid would be the type of steam that comes out of one's ears when they are irate. SteamPunk is just the coolest neo-classical victorian era that never existed (Firefly much!?)

  • Clams (Steamer Clams. also, Clams were a fiat currency in the Flintstones, which is kind of o.g.)
  • Banya - like everyone's just chlling and conversing in a russian steam bath and a shout out to the eastern european blockchain talent
  • Steemship - (while primitive in nature, this feels like a steam-powered spacecraft. i think in old times it was meant to describe a steam-powered boat)
  • Cleevland (like a Cleveland Steamer, is anyone on this project from Ohio?)
    • Ok note on this one. While i was aware that a "Cleveland Steamer" was a thing, i figured it was a famous type of train from the B&O Railway. I looked it up. it is not. It is quite grotesque (NSFW) and I wouldn't look it up. But in case you thought that maybe you recalled this term from your childhood trip to the railway museum, it has nothing to do with that, I assure you!
  • Gabardeen (like a fancy raincoat that can only be steam cleaned. also great Simon & Garfunkel reference to Gabardine in the song America which had strong generational themes of finding ones way in life. In many ways Steem is reinventing the way people of the world can act online)
  • eSteem - because everyone should be feeling a good self-esteem contributing to the rise of blockchain tech and the feeling of a healthy crypto portfolio
  • Steempunk - while a nod to Steampunk, the word punk may be a barrier for mainstream (or "mainsteem") adoption. (This could also be a term to describe certain community members, no?)
  • Steemtrunk - this is too many confounded thoughts in one to explain
